Yerevan, May 15. /Mediamax/. Vice-Speaker of the parliament, one of the
leaders of "Dashnaktsutiun" party Vahan Hovhannissian stated in Yerevan
today that many pro-Russian political forces did not enter the National
Assembly, and this fact reflects the moods of the Armenian society.

Mediamax reports that he also noted that the opposition lost its chance
to have a greater representation in the new parliament of Armenia.

Vahan Hovhannissian stated that the general percentage of the votes,
cast by the electors for oppositional forces, made 30%, however, the
disunity of opposition resulted in the fact that only two oppositional
parties, which gained, correspondingly, 7% and 6%, will be represented
in the National Assembly.
